Default Ezra Meeker

I know someone that owns a house that was once a part of the Ezra Meeker clan here in the Puyallup, Wa area. Built in the 1800s, I just found out about this and can't wait to go check the yard out. Any tips for a search like this?
Ezra Meeker is a founding father of the Puyallup Valley. He was even at one time considered the Hop King of something or other, as he made a ton of money growing hops in this area.

Hey Dana congrats on getting to hunt that yard. I think I would for sure take my time. Grid it out wotk a section, and digg all my signals.

A privete yard can be good or bad. I have seen promising ones not do well, and iffy ones produce. Good luck to you, Beale.

I agree with EBCIII about going by a grid. At least in your mind, if not a physical grid. Go about it methodically and slowly and you will be sure to cover all the areas. Great opportunity, have fun with it!

And I agree that anyone who grew hops must've had some good points.
